The One I Hate ‣ Darren Espanto Fanfic

23

Danica's POV

"Dani, sige na. Pumunta ka na dito, sagot ko dinner mo." sabi ni Jethro, kausap ko sya sa telepono.

"Tinatamad nga ako. Besides, why are you there anyway? Bakit ka nakila Darren?" i asked,

"Sinabihan nga ako ni Darren na pumunta ditoooo. He told me to check something."

Naiintindihan ko naman, but if Darren would want something why ask Jethro? Eh nandito naman ako? Speaking of, last time i talked to him was almost 2 weeks ago, tuwing minemessage ko sya, ang tanging sagot nya sakin ay masyado daw syang busy. Pero bakit nakausap nya si Jethro? Nakakatampo naman.

"Okay."

Pagbaba ko sa hagdan, naabutan ko si Tita na nonood ng TV. Nagpaalam ako sakanya at agad ng sumakay sa kotse ko. Wala si Elle sa bahay, masyado syang abala sa store nya, d ko naman sya masisi dahil umaasenso na talaga sya.

The ride was alright, the loud music saved me from being bored, even worse, from falling asleep. Malayo layo kasi ang bahay nila Darren, mula kila Elle mga 45 minutes drive ito, sabayan pa ng traffic sa mga daan kaya umaabot ng isang oras. Pagdating ko dun, nalito ako bigla. Wala doon ang sasakyan ni Jethro pero nakabukas ang gate ng bahay. Nalimutan kaya nya?

I parked my car near the entrance. Pag bukas ng double door, i was welcomed with a dark atmosphere. Natakot ako bigla, kala ko ba minemaintain ang bahay na ito? Bat naging horror house?

"Jeth?" sabi ko.

Bigla namang bumukas ang ilaw sa likod, pumunta ako dun dahil baka naroon si Jethro.

The moment i got there i was shocked to see their backyard surrounded by fairy lights. Their gazebo suddenly caught my attention, in there i saw a guy standing while holding a bouquet of flowers. I slowly walked towards him and was stunned by who i saw, Darren Bernardo was standing in front of me smiling widely.

"What are you doing here?" tanong ko sakanya, which made him laugh.

"Yan ba talaga ang bungad mo sakin? Wala man lang yakap?" he said, opening his arms. I went closer to him and he quickly hugged me tight, which i returned.
"I missed you Nic Nic." He said, lagi naman nya kong yinayakap noon at sinasabihan ng mga sweet phrases pero bakit parang iba to?
"I-I missed you too." I said. I felt my heart pound. Eto na naman, the familiar feeling of my heart rooting for him. Hindi to pwede Dani, namimiss ka lang nya, bestfriend ka lang. best. friend.

"Anong iniisip mo?" Tanong nya, furrowing his eyebrows.

"Wala. Bakit ka nga nandito?" I asked. He let out a deep sigh, which confused me. kinakabahan pa pala ang nilalang na to?

"Mahal kita." he said,

"Syempre mahal mo ko bestfriend mo ko eh. Ganun din naman ako sayo!" I said and laughed, pero he remained serious.

"Seryoso ako Dani, mahal kita. matagal na."

Ano?

"What?" sabi ko na halos pabulong na. "Darren wag mo kong niloloko. Ano na namang pakulo to ha? D na nakakatuwa!"

"Seryoso ako! Im sorry kung natagalan ang pag amin ko pero totoo to! Nung umamin ka sakin, mahal na kita. Noon pa man gusto na kitang angkinin pero na duwag ako. But here i am now. Mahal mo pa din naman ako diba?" He said, tinitigan ko sya. i see pain. naguguluhan pa din ako, ano ba to. After all, does he really think na mahal ko po sya? aba ang confidence level nga naman

"Im sorry Dani, sorry dahil sinaktan kita noon. Sorry sa lahat." He said. Nabigla ako ng bigla syang lumuhod at nagsimulang umiyak? what the heck! Is this guy serious?!
